This paper aims to provide a narrative review of the implications of climate change on health and health insurance in sub-Saharan Africa.
A comprehensive research was employed to carry out a complete narrative study on the subject. Thus, since September 2022 we searched for literature on the relationships between climate change, health, and health insurance on PubMed over an unbounded period. By updating the research method, the outputs cover the period 2009-2024.
Based on 19 key articles that focused on the implications of climate change for health and health insurance in sub-Saharan Africa, we highlight that climate change directly affects population health through climate-related disease. Indirectly, climate change affects health through its disruption of food availability and agriculture and through demographic shifts.
Finally, this narrative review suggests appropriate strategies to combat the health consequences of climate change and to improve universal health insurance systems.
本文旨在对气候变化对撒哈拉以南非洲地区健康和健康保险的影响进行叙述性综述。
采用全面研究对该主题进行完整的叙述性研究。因此,自2022年9月起,我们在PubMed上对气候变化、健康和健康保险之间的关系进行了无限制时间段的文献搜索。通过更新研究方法,研究结果涵盖了2009年至2024年期间。
基于19篇关注气候变化对撒哈拉以南非洲地区健康和健康保险影响的关键文章,我们强调气候变化通过与气候相关的疾病直接影响人群健康。间接而言,气候变化通过扰乱食物供应和农业以及人口结构变化来影响健康。
最后,本叙述性综述提出了应对气候变化对健康影响的适当策略,并改善全民健康保险系统。
